Change Pot Tuesday

Change Pot Tuesday is a weekly recap of finding money that other people have lost. However, it is more than just picking up pennies and collecting lost change. For those readers and followers who have begun following the Change Pot midway, Change Pot Tuesday is about charity. When the Change Pot reaches $100, it will be donated to charity and the process will be started all over again. Loyal readers and followers will have an opportunity to help me choose which charity will receive the money accumulated in the Change Pot. While, I don't expect to change the world with the Change Pot, I do hope to help a charity in some small way.

Wednesday - $0.06 total. My first find of the day was at the Sandy Spring Museum. I found a nickel as I got out of my car to visit the museum for a class project. Later after returning to UMBC, I found a penny on the main sidewalk running through campus while on my way to class.

Thursday - $0.01. A penny at the Sheetz on South Street in Frederick Maryland while on my way home from Baltimore.

Sunday - $0.02 total. The first penny was found in our home while packing. It was at the back of the "junk" drawer in our kitchen. Although this was most definitely our penny, I will still add it to the Change Pot since I "found" it. The second penny, which was not picked up, was found at the Sheetz near I-79 in Morgantown. We had stopped for something to drink after dropping James off at his friend Morgan's house when I found a penny on the floor at the cash register. The store was too busy, so I didn't get the opportunity to pick up the penny, but I will donate a penny to the cause.

Weekly Total: $0.09
YTD Total: $7.19
